Smart Ocular Implant for Monitoring IOP in Glaucoma Patients
… numerous studies have shown that pathological IOP is a significant risk factor. A single clinical examination of vision cannot detect an insidious increase in IOP. Therefore, long-term, uninterrupted IOP measurement is of great importance for the early diagnosis of glaucoma and individual …

Rapid marine cyclogenesis forecast sensitivity to high resolution sea surface temperatures during ERICA IOP-5
… study covers the Intensive Observation Period (IOP) 5 of the Experiment on Rapidly Intensifying Cyclones over the Atlantic (ERICA). Results show little sensitivity of central pressure and storm position to the high resolution SSTs. However, differences in mesoscale features are present, …

Continuous Monitoring of Intraocular Pressure from the Sclera
… associated with increased intraocular pressure (IOP) that can lead to impaired vision and blindness. Frequently asymptomatic, this eye disease may be undetectable until vision is severely compromised. The primary goal of glaucoma management is to prevent progressive nerve damage by maintaining a …

How does sevuflurane induction, followed by a ketamine maintenance infusion affect intraocular pressure? : establishment of a protocol for paediatric glaucoma examinations under anaesthesia
… (IV) ketamine infusion on intraocular pressure (IOP) in the paediatric glaucoma population. 2. To establish the earliest time point at which IOP measurement most closely resembles awake values. Methods: A prospective, descriptive study of the IOP changes occurring in 25 children requiring IOP …

The Effects of Self-Regulated Extraocular Muscle Tension on Intraocular Pressure.
… and fluctuations in intraocular pressure (IOP) in normal subjects. Twenty subjects were asked to increase and decrease their EMG activity from the orbicularis muscle around the eye according to a biofeedback paradigm. Subjects received three trials of alternating increase and rest periods …

Cannabinoids: A Novel Treatment Strategy for Retinal Neurodegenerative Disorders
… are known to decrease intraocular pressure (IOP). Glaucomatous damage to the retina and optic nerve progresses even after therapy to maintain normal intraocular pressure (IOP). Topical application of cannabinoids decreases IOP while not affecting blood pressure or heart rate. Based upon their …

Exploring and evaluating a solution-focused counselling programme for industrial psychology practitioners
The industrial and organisational psychology (IOP) practitioner is often faced with workplace situations which require provision of counselling within their professional capacity. However, research has indicated that the IOP practitioner does not receive sufficient training in specific counselling …

Evaluation of Ocular Pulse Amplitude-related Parameters measured by Dynamic Contour Tonometry and Ocular Blood Flow Analyzer
… flow analyzer (OBFA). Intraocular pressure (IOP) was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry (GAT), DCT and OBFA. ORF was calculated from OPA and PV, measured with both devices, based on the Friedenwald equation. ORF = [log (DCT IOP + OPA) - log DCT IOP]/PV. The severity of glaucoma was …

Chronic Ocular Hypertensive Model using Microbead Injection in Rats: Comparison of Polyurethane, Polymethylmethacrylate, and Polystyrene
… Chronic elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) was induced by injection of various microbeads into the anterior chamber of Sprague-Dawley rat eyes. We compared the IOPs induced by the injection of different microbeads [7- and 17-µm polyurethane (PU), 7- and 15-µm polymethylmethacrylate …

Hydrogen Sulfide in Glaucoma: Delivery System, Hypotensive and Neuroprotective Effects
… have glaucoma. Increased intraocular pressure (IOP) is a distinct marker of glaucoma. IOP in glaucoma increases from the healthy range of 10-21 mmHg to the glaucomatous level of 22-40 mmHg. Currently available drugs for glaucoma act by lowering the IOP. However, patients undergoing glaucoma …

The effectiveness and safety of micropulse transscleral cyclodiode photocoagulation therapy in glaucoma patients at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa
… (MP-TSCPC), in terms of intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, in refractory glaucoma eyes and in blind glaucomatous eyes that were not on antiglaucoma medications. Method 28 consecutive patients were prospectively recruited. Iridex G6 micropulse laser with its P3 probe was used. Baseline …

An exploration of through-the-eye intraocular pressure measurement device
… caused by an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP), is one of the leading causes of blindness. As constant monitoring of IOP is essential in the treatment of glaucoma, the IOP measurement techniques described in patents and patent applications since 1950 are examined. None of the methods …

Development of Multiple Microemulsion Eye Drops for Sustained Release of New Glaucoma Drug
… or repeated elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) is a primary risk factor of visual field loss in glaucoma, therefore IOP reduction is the first-line therapeutic option in the disease management. Unfortunately, the current therapies are associated with a lot of deficiencies including several …

Magnetic Steering to Save Sight: Trabecular Meshwork Cell Therapy as a Treatment for Primary Open Angle Glaucoma
… factor for POAG is high intraocular pressure (IOP). Current clinical treatments for POAG aim to reduce IOP, but they often have low success rates. The trabecular meshwork (TM) is a key regulator of IOP and has been shown to undergo significant changes in POAG including a loss of cells. This …

Numerical Studies of Synoptic and Mesoscale Environments Conducive to Heavy Rainfall in Tropical and Extratropical Systems
… Floyd (September 1999) and an Alpine event, MAP IOP-2B (September 1999). In addition to studying the two events independently, a third study examined the link between Floyd's extratropical transition and IOP-2B given that the two events occurred a few days apart. Analysis of observations of both …
